Admission to the Broad College considers academic factors, non-academic factors and an optional personal statement.
Students should apply in the fall/spring semester in which they will complete the requirements.
Only MSU grades are used in the College Precore GPA calculations, unless all college precore courses are completed at an institution other than MSU.
Precore course equivalents taken at MSU are used in the College Precore GPA calculation.
Only MSU grades are used in the cumulative GPA calculation.
Students seeking admission must submit as part of their online application an experiential profile and a case study.
A proctored case study considering characteristics in one of the following thematic areas that will be randomly assigned.
The approach includes meaningful self-reflection and teachable moments regarding integrity, initiative, professional relationships, work experience and extra-curricular activities as they relate to the business world with the experiential profile, and the case study is consistent with the five key dimensions of personal and social responsibility of the AAC&U leadership initiative.
The personal statement of extenuating circumstances is an opportunity for a student to share a circumstance beyond his/her control that might have impacted academic performance. Official supportive documentation of the extenuating circumstance must accompany the personal statement.
Answers to common admission-related questions, including how to document dual-enrolled transfer courses, how precore GPAs are calculated, canceling an application, admission point breakdowns, past admission rates, how AP/IB/CLEP credit is used, requesting accommodations or a make-up date for the case study, and who should submit a personal statement.
The appeal period for fall 2018 decisions has ended.

Criteria for admittance to a degree-granting major in the Broad College of Business is dependent on academic factors. There are also two "competitive admission" majors at Broad.
Only MSU grades are used in the Major Precore GPA calculations, unless all major precore courses are completed at an institution other than MSU.
Precore course equivalents taken at MSU are used in the Major Precore GPA calculation.
The following majors are "competitive admission" majors, and specific academic factors will be considered when determining admission.
College admission decisions are based on a hybrid model that considers academic and non-academic factors.
The purposes of including non-academic factors in the college-level admission decision process are to enhance the student's educational experience through the process, to recognize attributes employers and industries value in the process, to acknowledge qualities that are valued by and consistent with the mission of the Broad College, and to include appropriate factors considered as indicators of success by the admissions review committee.
This more inclusive developmental approach to the admission decision model includes meaningful self-reflection and teachable moments regarding integrity, initiative, professional relationships, work experience and extra-curricular activities as they relate to the business world, which is consistent with the five key dimensions of personal and social responsibility of the AAC&U leadership initiative.

The first annual Logan County Climb For Kids will be held Sat., Sept. 7 at 10 a.m. at the Logan County Fairgrounds. The idea of the event is for all participants to climb as many floors as they can in one hour as an honor to all that were lost in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Along with that, any and all participants, as well as the Sterling Fire Department, will be collecting donations prior to the event to go to two children's charities. The charities that have been chosen are Make-A-Wish Foundation (www.colorado.wish.org/) and Tuesday's Children (www.tuesdayschildren.org/).
Make-A-Wish Foundation is very well known, but Tuesday's Children is not a familiar name in this area. It was formed after the 9/11 attacks for the children whom had their parents taken from them. It is a foundation that is used to keep the children together and provide activities for them to escape the horrors that they experienced that day. In a sense, Tuesday's Children has become a support system for these kids.
Be on the lookout around the Sterling area for Sterling Fire Department members taking donations. Donations are also being accepted at the Sterling Fire Department. Cash or checks accepted. Make checks payable to Sterling Volunteer Firefighters.
*At 7:26 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a two-vehicle accident in the 1000 block of West Main Street. People from one vehicle were outside of the vehicle upon arrival of the fire department and denied medical service. A person from the second vehicle was assisted from the car and then refused care.
*At 5:24 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a smoking transformer in the 600 block of North Fourth Avenue. Dripping hot oil from the transformer was igniting grass below it. The grass was extinguished and Xcel was notified. The alley was barricaded and Xcel personnel extinguished the transformer with a dry chemical extinguisher provided by the fire department.
*Firefighters responded to a reported injury accident at County Road 37 and West Main Street at 12:47 p.m. Two vehicles were involved in the accident. A GMC pickup truck sustained right front end damage and a Mercury mini van sustained damage to the passenger rear quarter panel. Neither driver complained of injuries.
*Firefighters responded to a report of a boiler malfunctioning at Northeastern Junior College (NJC) at 4:28 a.m. The residence hall director reported the boiler room was filled with steam. An investigation determined the circulating pump wasn't running correctly because of a power failure. No hazards were found and the system was disabled by facility maintenance staff.
*At 3:14 a.m., firefighters responded to Dowis Hall at NJC regarding an alarm that was unintentionally activated and could not be reset. The alarm could not be reset because of a power outage. A fire watch was ordered for the dormitories until power could be restored.

C02 reduction could come from whales
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Whales are wonderous water mammals. Majestic and mysterious, these creatures are often murdered by human hunters, military sound waves or merchant ships.
The University of Hawai'i has announced that a team of researchers has discovered that whales could hold the key to our planet's future. Sounds like a Star Trek movie, right?
University of Hawai'i at Mānoa oceanographer Craig Smith was part of the team that recently published their findings that claims whales have the potential to sequester carbon in the deep sea to help fight climate change.
"Understanding the role of whales in the carbon cycle is a dynamic and emerging field that may benefit both marine conservation and climate-change strategies," write the authors. "This will require interdisciplinary collaboration between marine ecologists, oceanographers, biogeochemists, carbon-cycle modelers and economists."
Weighing up to 100 tons and living more than 100 years, whales have a hefty biomass that is composed mostly of carbon. These researchers believe that these creatures could be the largest living carbon pool pelagic ocean.
Hawaiʻi houselessness cannot continue to be ignored
The pelagic ocean is part of the marine system that is responsible for storing 22 percent of the Earth's total carbon.
"Their size and longevity allow whales to exert strong effects on the carbon cycle by storing carbon more effectively than small animals, ingesting extreme quantities of prey and producing large volumes of waste products," write the authors, led by Heidi Pearson, a biologist from the University of Alaska Southeast.
"Considering that baleen whales have some of the longest migrations on the planet, they potentially influence nutrient dynamics and carbon cycling over ocean-basin scales," added Pearson.

The team said that whales consume nearly four percent of their body weight in krill and photosynthetic plankton, daily. If you are talking about a blue whale, then that means it will eat nearly 8,000 pounds.

It is in their excrement that they produce rich nutrients that nurture krill and plankton habitats. This increases photosynthesis and carbon storage.
Even in death, blue whales, which live up to 90 years, provide the planet with much needed carbon processing. When they die, they fall to the sea floor where their carbon stores are transferred as they decay. This "supplements the biological carbon pump, where nutrients and chemicals are exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere through complex biogeochemical pathways," according to the research.
Unfortunately, commercial hunting has degraded the global whale population by 81 percent, and the full scope of the consequences are yet to be understood.
"Whale recovery has the potential for long-term, self-sustained enhancement of the ocean carbon sink," the authors write. "The full carbon dioxide reduction role of great whales [and other organisms] will only be realized through robust conservation and management interventions that directly promote population increases."

Watch Video - Crash Test Dummies plus Mo Kenney
130 NY-22 Pawling, NY 12564
Canadian rock stars most identifiable by Brad Roberts' distinctive bass-baritone voice.
Crash Test Dummies plus Mo Kenney
It's been 30 years since the Crash Test Dummies recorded their debut album, "The Ghosts That Haunt Me". Their first album garnered them their first big hit, Superman's Song, and a Juno Award for Group of the Year. Over three decades later, their sold out 25th Anniversary Tour for multi-Grammy nominated "God Shuffled His Feet" is proof that audiences still want to hear what they have to say.
"We have been so excited with the response to the 25th anniversary tour that we knew we had to continue the party and celebrate 30 years since we made our first album. We had no idea that fans would be so enthusiastic and we are all a little gob-smacked that we can still play sold out shows to our fans and, awesomely enough, their kids," says original member Ellen Reid.
Their 2020 tour will start in Canada and will see them tour North America and Europe, where fans have been anxiously waiting. The shows will include hits and fan favourites from the band's vast catalogue. Original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge will be joined onstage by Stuart Cameron and Marc Arnould.
"After a long absence from the road, Crash Test Dummies have begun to tour again. Not something I'd planned on, but surprisingly, at least to me, there are lots of people who, years later, still want to come and hear us. That people continue to return to see the band all these years later still stuns me. It's very humbling. The folks that come out to these shows tell us their stories and there are many gems: many are very funny, some are very dark, and all are very personal. It's very humbling, being in the confidence of so many people," says lead singer/songwriter Brad Roberts.
"I am demented and all my friends are scared of me," Mo Kenney sings on a beloved, unreleased staple of her live shows. "I am an alien waiting for my family." Connection—the rare times we have and hold onto it tenuously, the lack or loss of it, the search for it, and even the creeping feeling that it may be unattainable—is a defining theme of the Dartmouth, Nova Scotia songwriter's body of work. It's no stretch to imagine that it's maybe the main reason her fans are so passionately drawn to her as an artist and performer, either. In a world where connection becomes increasingly scarce, there's a quixotic stubbornness in Kenney's songs, an insistence that forging a bond is worth all the unavoidable pain and heartbreak and self-destruction that might be wrought from it. And there are few songwriters who are able to create such unforgettable melodies while communicating just how rough the ride can be.
Throughout Kenney's own rough ride, from troubled teenagerdom and teaching herself Elliott Smith songs in her small-town bedroom to battling with her demons on 2017's eclectic and brash The Details, music has remained constant. At 17, she stunned Maritime rock 'n' roll legend Joel Plaskett with a couple songs recorded at her friend's high school, eventually leading to a long-running collaborative relationship between the two. In 2012, she released her self-titled debut, a powerful first impression that melds her extraordinary knack for nuance—the dreamy, award-winning folk tune "Sucker," for example—and a clear bent toward sounds more incendiary and ambitious that shows up on the driving kiss-off "Déjà Vu" and her cover of Bowie's "Five Years," which explodes with an interstellar crescendo worthy of the Starman. She expands that vibe on In My Dreams, venting existential frustration by almost gleefully urging the listener to blow her head off on the hazy pop of "Take Me Outside," dabbling in spacey prog rock for the stomping "Mountains to the Mess," and stylishly sowing sorrow on the title track over subtle, '60s-tinged piano, convinced that she's hallucinated an absent lover.
Kenney pathologically mines the most shadowy corners of herself in order to surface with something unflinchingly honest, but The Details found her exploring uncharted territory. It traces her own strange, devastating, and ultimately hopeful trip through the trials and tribulations of booze-fuelled breakdowns, clouds of depression, and disintegrating relationships. It sounds as fraught as the subject matter demands. "On The Roof" seethes with suffocating anxiety and punchy guitar; the jangle of "Unglued" is deceptively sunshiney, the way someone might force a smile as they're falling apart; and "Feelin' Good" offers some real redemption in its weird, soothing sparseness, but feels tentative, as though Kenney is aware things could still unravel at any moment.
It's this willingness to bare so much of herself—not all, mind you—on record and on stage that draws in fans from all over the world, people far and wide who feel like aliens themselves, looking to connect with anyone or anything. And that illuminates a comforting truth: sometimes the fear that you don't belong in this world is the most human feeling you can feel. With a touring history that's seen her play her tunes for swaths of the United States, Europe, Australia, and the UK, the future will find Kenney continuing to tour as much as possible, expanding her sonic reach here on Earth and perhaps beyond, beamed up somewhere deep in the cosmos among other beings like her.
